Alex lives in Louisville, Kentucky with her husband and son. She has been crafting with a Cricut for over 9 years, and just over 6 years ago Alex decided to help others bring their crafty dreams to life by creating tutorials on Youtube. Alex designs her tutorials with her signature straight-to-the-point style, including lots of detail and a little bit of fun. Though she'll try almost any craft, her favorite things to create are Cricut print then cut projects and seasonal crafts. When Alex isn't crafting, you can find her chasing her toddler, enjoying the outdoors, or reading.
